I am a bridesmaid in my best friends wedding this August and I want to tone up my arms so they look good in the strapless dress.  What are some exercises I can do for that?  I have 3 lbs weights and also my husband has weights that can be adjusted from 5 lbs up.  I figured I could always move to those if I feel that the 3 lb weights aren't doing much for me once I get into a routine.  Thanks!!

  • If you don't know what some of these things are just let me know and I'll try my best to explain/link them.

    Remember you WON'T get big, so start with the 3-5lbers but when it gets easy go up.

    Anything from 6-15 reps would be good for you. So if you are going to do it 2x a week do one heavier with less reps day and one lighter with more reps day

    Shoulder Press

    Lateral Raise

    that is a basic, but I would keep your hands facing the same direction (you can do it 1 of three ways, palms together, thumbs in or thumbs out) also he is going slightly forward above his shoulders, you don't want that you want it to be inline with your shoulders
